Bradley Barcola is one of the names that Liverpool are monitoring for a transfer this summer. The youngster has been quite impressive for Lyon’s first team after breaking through under Laurent Blanc. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League club has sent scouts to watch the player and evaluate whether he would be a good fit for them.
The right-footed forward is usually played as a left-winger, but can play anywhere across the front three. He has posted some impressive numbers while playing for the first team, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in 29 games across all competitions. He also scored the winning goal against PSG earlier this month as Lyon won 1-0.
Who is Bradley Barcola of Lyon?
The 21-year-old came through the Lyon academy, being a native of the city. He also has citizenship of Togo, but has represented France at the youth levels.
Lyon aren’t in a rush to part ways with the youngster since he has a contract with them until 2026. Moreover, any transfer fee for him could be a big amount – which Liverpool might not be interested in paying.
Laurent Blanc himself has been very impressed by the performances of Barcola. He is pacey, very technically sound and can score goals as shown by the numbers he has put up.
Bradley Barcola scored against Liverpool during a recent friendly, where they won 3-2. He scored one of the goals while Alexandre Lacazette scored the other two.
